[Dovecot] I've moved to US
I thought about saying this in v1.2.beta1 release annoouncement, but looks like it'll take a few more days. So I've moved to Blacksburg, Virginia and I'm now working for Mailtrust the rest of this year. Here's some talk about it:
(A bit stupid looking picture, but then again all my pictures seem to be that way so I didn't bother getting a new one taken.)
And if it's not clear from that blog: Pretty much everything I do here will be Dovecot improvements that will be released as open source. Mailtrust has actually been paying for Dovecot features for about 3 years now.

Wow, congrats!
Looks like a typical 'working is soooo much more fun than studying' thing :-)

Congratulations! Wow, Finland to Blacksburg. That could make for some interesting 'culture shock' posts.
Kudos to Rackspace/Mailtrust for supporting your work.

Actually I find Blacksburg to be very similar to Finland. I haven't
really had any shocks. Just some small annoyances how some things are
better/easier in Finland :)

Bourbon tastes different then vodka! ;-P

Pretty small things. Like front door should lock automatically, so I wouldn't have to waste time locking it manually. Transferring money between bank accounts is also more difficult than it should be. All bread tastes weird, I'm not sure why. Some other things I already forgot.
But there are some positive things, like grocery stores being open 24h and when driving turning to right is allowed on red light :)

You have to get "Arthur Avenue" bread. See if you can locate a local bakery. The regular 'commercial' bread is loaded with preservatives.

There are on the West Side Drive. I see them every morning when I have to drive into the city. They are usually located at the city borders.

Agreed wrt preservatives. I'm partial to Martin's Famous Whole Wheat
Potato Bread (http://www.potatoroll.com/pages/products.asp) when I
didn't have time to make my own bread for the week.

Make sure you have a medical plan. Our country is way behind the rest of the developed world in social services.

Holy smokes... this is awesome news for all of us in the dovecot community!
Of course, you don't look anything like I imagined in your pic... I was thinking something along the lines of Neo (in the Matrix movie) - but hey, put some dark glasses on you and a full length leather trenchcoat... yeah, maybe...
;)
But seriously, congrats on the new job, and welcome to the USA!
